We came at the end of July, and some very close friends were here for Sukkot. We were with them in Yerushalayim, and at the end of the chag, we got in a taxi and headed back to the bus station, while they headed for the airport to get back to the states. On the bus back to the yishuv, it really hit me - all the tourists were heading out, and we were staying. This was our life now. It was a very powerful moment!Knighted Vorpal Swordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986299517268345883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-45064866864939434142010-07-16T06:45:06.784+03:002010-07-16T06:45:06.784+03:00Beautiful!

Like those other milestones, the love can continue to grow, as we see the best in our spouse, in our child, and in our new country.<br /><br />I am so happy you are here!rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.com
